{"product_id":"smc-24-inch-i-picket","title":"I Picket 24 in","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis I Picket snow anchor from SMC has been refined over many years of testing and is designed to be placed either horizontally as a deadman or vertically, depending upon the snow conditions encountered.  The modified I-beam construction is designed for maximum hold.  The precision tapered end allows for easier placement in hard snow.  The edges of the clip-in holes are beveled to protect ropes and webbing.  The hole pattern spacing is designed to maximize holding power in a variety of snow conditions and placements.  In hard snow, the picket in driven in like a stake and angled 15° back from the direction of pull with a carabiner clipped into the hole closest to the surface of the snow.  In softer snow conditions, the picket is buried horizontally like a deadman perpendicular to the direction of pull with a carabiner clipped into the center hole and a slot dug in the snow allowing for the runner\/rope to be pulled in a direct line.  Snow conditions vary widely and can change rapidly, and the strength of various types of placements is difficult to predict.  There are many different trade-offs with different types of snow anchor designs, depending upon the circumstances.  The right tool for the right job.  Just like everything else in climbing, proper instruction and practice in a safe environment is essential.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"collateral-block collateral-block--product_description_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"box-collateral box-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"std\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e24\" Snow Picket Anchor\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eModified I-Beam Construction Provides Maximum Hold\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh Strength-To-Weight Ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"uk-text-uppercase\"\u003eNatural Finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrecision Tapered End for Easier Placement in Hard Snow\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eClip-In Holes with Beveled Edges to Protect Ropes and Webbing\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpaced Hole Pattern for Maximum Holding Power in Different Snow Conditions and Configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesigned to be placed Vertically or used as a Dead Man \"T\" Anchor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12.7 oz (361 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePLEASE NOTE: THIS ITEM IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RETURN OR EXCHANGE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43745568161991,"sku":"162024","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0140\/2791\/5318\/files\/smc-24-inch-i-picket.jpg?v=1714502536","url":"https:\/\/featheredfriends.live\/products\/smc-24-inch-i-picket","provider":"Feathered Friends","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
